The time it takes to beat The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion varies widely depending on your playstyle and goals:
- For just completing the main story, it takes about 14 to 27.5 hours in the original version, and about 15 to 25 hours in the Oblivion Remastered version
- If you include side quests and extras, a typical playthrough will take around 40 to 80 hours , as there are many guild quests and additional content to explore
- For a completionist run, aiming to do everything including all quests, expansions, and exploring every area, expect to spend 100 to 200+ hours in the game
- Some players have reported spending hundreds or even thousands of hours on a single character due to the game's depth and replayability
In summary, casual players focusing on the main quest can finish in about 15-25 hours, while those seeking a full experience with side quests and expansions should plan for 70-150 hours or more. Completionists may spend well over 200 hours exploring all content. The remastered version slightly reduces main quest time but offers the same expansive content
